Morgan Millward

Morgan is a multi-media artist using his art to frequently responds to current political conversations, whilst drawing on lived experience of mental health to inspire creative meaning. His artistic process is intuition-led and instinctual which makes his work visually raw and emotive. 

Morgan  is a multidisciplinary artist based in Greater Manchester. He works with whatever materials are available, often incorporating objects that have been discarded or overlooked. His practice is built on the belief that there is opportunity in everything, and that things people throw away can still hold meaning. His work frequently responds to current political conversations while also exploring personal experiences with mental health.

 

Much of Morgan’s work reflects his experience of living with bipolar disorder and being a trans man. His process usually begins with a loose thought or emotion before becoming instinctive. Once he starts, his hands tend to take over and the work finds its own direction. His poetry often comes from anger or frustration about the news and public conversation, turning those feelings into words. Some of his most important pieces were created while he was detained in psychiatric hospital, where making art became a way to process and express what he was experiencing.

 

Morgan draws inspiration mainly from the world around him rather than specific artists, though he particularly admires the work of Tracey Emin, Elizabeth Price and Jean-Michel Basquiat. In the future he hopes to explore more installation and video art alongside his existing practice.
